My 11 week old twins keep a fetid nose! We have humidifiers in every room, and spray there nose with saline constantly. The pediatrician said we can't give them a decongestant or anything like that for a while, since they were so advanced. Supposedly

Do not put is anywhere they could latch on to and then touch and potentially get it in their mouth/eyes! I actually do not recommend Vicks on a newborn. You can actually buy a baby vaporizer that you broadside the medicine directly into it-then it's circulated

You should at bottom check with their doctor about the Vicks.
You can put the Vicks in a vaporizer for them. That way you're not putting it on their sensitive skin.

No way, it is way too powerful for them.
Their is baby vicks, but that isn't even rec commended for babies under 3 months old.
I would suction their noses when needed, and use the saline sparingly. List their cribs or bassinet

Vicks was conventional in my family's medicine cabinet....and they make baby vicks now..I have some I got it target....and they sell Vicks that goes in your humidifiers also... I trust that helps...the smell takes me back to my childhood..I rub it on my girls

Saline drops and a suction bulb along with a humidifier/vaporizer. Or you can take them in the bathroom and run the bombard. Worked for my sons.

the vapor rub on feet with socks doesn't calling. lol my husband heard about this and said oh yeah it'll work so when we both got sick we did it, when we woke up in the morning we felt in every respect the same sick!
yes, you can use vapor rub on infants.

No. Even Vicks for babies shouldn't be hardened on babies under 3 months. But using regular Vicks would be worse because the menthol in it could irritate their skin and it would burn and assemble for an even fussier baby!
Take them in the bathroom

does a warm mist humidifier use a lot of energy?

i have a vicks mould where you can put vapor rub stuff in it. it heats up the mist.
this must use less energy than a space heater, right?
Anything that uses a heating constituent uses a lot of energy. The space heater uses more, though, since it has a bigger element. The hotter it gets, the more spirit it uses.
